The Bruins, who didn't have to over-extend themselves in Sunday afternoon's 5-2, Game 2 win over the New York Rangers, had enough energy and time to fit in a 20-minute practice before departing for New York on Monday. Games 3 and 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, which the B's lead 2-0, will be played at Madison Square Garden.

Winners of three straight games for the first time since March 30-April 4, the B's didn't run a normal practice. About half their 15 forwards wore white jerseys, the other half wore yellow, and there weren't many full-line rushes. Defensemen, however, were paired according to the lineups used in Games 1 and 2 of the series: Zdeno Chara-Dougie Hamilton; Matt Bartkowski-Johnny Boychuk; Torey Krug-Adam McQuaid.

- Defenseman Dennis Seidenberg, who hasn't played since the first period of Game 7 against Toronto, skated for at least the third straight day, and participated in some practice drills.

Seidenberg, who is dealing with a suspected leg or lower-body injury, was on the ice before any of his teammates, under the direction of conditioning coach John Whitesides. He then stuck around for practice, but during length-of-the-rink, 4-on-4 rushes that concluded the workout, Seidenberg watched from the bench.

"He's getting closer," coach Claude Julien said of Seidenberg, who didn't speak with reporters after practice. "Whether it's next game or not, we'll see how he feels tomorrow."

- Defenseman Wade Redden, who has missed three straight games and four of the Bruins' last five with an undisclosed injury, participated in the entire practice, and paired with reserve Aaron Johnson during drills.

Redden also practiced on Saturday, but left that workout early, and skated with Seidenberg on Sunday morning. Julien said Redden was in essentially the same position as Seidenberg -- improving, but a game-day decision.

- All 15 forwards, 9 defensemen and both goalies were on the ice Monday -- something of a rarity, nine games and roughly three weeks into playoffs.
